Episode notes

- Mark Carney's early months focus on adaptation and mitigation rather than grand transformation.
- He needs to outline a clear narrative arc showing how short-term pain leads to a less U.S.-dependent future.

- Pausing the EV mandate signals a retrenchment in green ambition tied to near-term industrial pressures.
- The move is framed as protecting autos amid tariffs rather than a wholesale abandonment of climate goals.

- 'Austerity and investment' signals trimming inefficiencies to fund priority projects, but risks public backlash.
- October's budget must show concrete work to convince Canadians the trade-off isn't a shell game.
